In contemporary R&D systems, research in basic and applied sciences, technology development and innovation, and their societal impact are the broad areas of concern. In particular, the emphasis is on promoting interdisciplinary research so that the S&T developments remain relevant and benefit society in the short and long term. Keeping this in the background, the efficient measurement of the R&D capacity and building effective R&D capability are the basic requisites for the R&D governance system.
For capacity measurement, the performance evaluation becomes imperative, and for capability development, a comprehensive foresight is needed. The exponential growth in emerging scientific and technological knowledge has led to various quantitative approaches to capture trends, insights, and undertake forecasting exercises. It has also opened new horizons in developing novel methods and practices in performance evaluations.
Big-data, sophisticated computational tools and techniques, blockchain, etc. are the new signatures of the quantitative approaches. Alternative approaches for evaluation such as altmetrics have added new dimensions to the performance evaluation.
With this standpoint, a two-day conference is planned to situate and bring together experts, policymakers, and scholars to discuss the emerging issues in contemporary methods, practices for performance evaluation, and foresight development in R&D and governance.
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is India's largest scientific R&D organization, comprising 37 research institutes across the country. CSIR NIScPR (National Institute of Science Communication and Policy Research) is one of the constituent research institutes of CSIR, which emerged from the merger of two CSIR institutions, CSIR-NISTADS and CSIR-NISCAIR, with a combined legacy of over 100 years.

The institute has built its core competence in studies on various scientific indicators, measurement of S&T, technology assessment, and impact assessment. For more details kindly visit CSIR-NIScPR website.
